Last of a dying breed
A biker will have an interest in reading the manual. To find out all there is to know about his baby. He has just spent a load of cash on the new bike and probably more then what he should have (He could have got a cheaper one...) And now he is like a kid at Christmas.

Do I still qualify if I haven't read the owner's manual cover to cover in one sitting over a beer? It's only come out when something needs fixing...

All but the bike mags...don't see the point in owning them when I can just go for a ride with what I already love anyway. Plus I get to suss out all the new info via the Net.
Anyway,they're expensive and take from my petrol and tyre allowance and hinder my next bike purchase...and that's a BIG NO NO!

I'm a bimuter.
But I bet I get as much happiness and points on the thrillometer from my diddly widdle jaunts about the place as a hard core "biker" who qualifies under your list!

Noooo - send them to Starship, just make sure they're the ones without bums and tits. Drop them off in Orthopedic wards too. Dentists and Doctors are rich enough to buy their own bloody tax deductible magazines.Agweed....i gave up my subscription this year to a bike mag....have such a pile of them...should really take them to the Doctors/Dentist waiting room.

If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

Im a biker that commutes, yep one bike for going for rides to where ever on, and one bike for work and back. and yes its true the commuter gets ridden and thats it, maybee a clean now and then, but the other bike gets cleaned and polished even when it doesnt really need it e,g after a ride and again before the next ride. thats when i drag myself away from the magazines
I cannot put my finger on it now, the child has grown the dream has gone
there'll be no more aaarrrrrggghhhhh but you may feel a little sick
Hardcore Biker
fix my bike if i can
read the manual
look forward to rides
commute to work on bike everyday
try to set people on fire sometimes
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Magazines - Nup can't afford them... but will read them if lying around or if they are handed out for free.
Maintenance of the bike - Yep, I will do what I can, otherwise it is in the shop unless a friend can help me out - you should see all the gear all set up in the garage...... (well one or two have now seen it)
Riding - Hell yeah always out and about on my bike..... and sometimes never know which way I am going go until I get to that corner or intersection....... will it be left or right.....
Manual - Yep, I got a full service manual recently and it is now covered in dirty oily fingerprints.
Friends - A bikers friends are not all bikers - And yet they understand my need to ride.
Bike - my next bike - I have to rob a bank first....... to get another bike (Virago 750) to sit beside my Virago 250
The Interweb - Yep I read about bikes on the web.
Attitude - Fuck yeah......
No bike - As a result of circumstances, I can be without a bike but it won't be long before she (the bike) is back on the road again
So does that make me a biker... yep I reckon... and just don't fuck with my bike!!!!!!!!!

So what do you call a commuter who never takes the shortest route unless it rains cats and dogs?
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule

I would agree on all points...except I don't buy mags. My sons do and I pinch them!

Ahh! Those (almost exact) words came up in the scooter forum area the other week!
Was pissing myself over the opinions about "just getting from A to B".
A biker will know that "B" is optional. Go where the road takes you.

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Just because you use your bike to commute does not make you a Commuter. Bikers commute too, but with style. :-)
